  • Hi ladies, how's everything going ??? Sorry I've not been online for ages but had a broken computer and only just scrapped some money together to get it fixed :( I've got alot of catching up to do on this thread and in this section of the forum

    who would of thought it is not 31 days till I get married (arrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 4 weeks on Saturday and to think I was panicing 4/5 months ago lol :P :P

    I am having my hen night on the 11th July (straight after bringing 20 young people back from an overnight camp so I will DEFO need a few drinks after that lol :P) and we are booked in to speak to the registrar to finalise our vows and music on the 15th July. My dress finally arrived and I'm having a few dress fittings in the next couple of weeks.

    one downer though - my matron of honour emailed me this weekend and told me she couldn't make the wedding due to personal reasons (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) luckily for me though a good work colleague who I have known for quite a while has said she would step in and be my MOH - why oh why didn't I ask her in the first place (doh!!!!!)

    anyway, I'll quickly go and catch up and speak to everyone shortly xx
    Got married on 1st August :beer:

    thank you to everyone on the weddings and anniversary forum xxx

    Anyhoo, I'm back as I had to rush away to do some work :o

    Was going to say our final meeting went well and we chose our meal and wine fine - with free samples of course :) Only sticking point seems to be our DJ who is friend just helping out and the venue are insisiting that he has all sort of certificates and insurances. We're hopeing that our wedding insurance will cover him but will have to wait and see :(

    On a good point the esitmated costs have gone down from £3000 to £2200! :D

    Had a great day today :) Tried on my dress for the first time after it came back from the final alterations, I still love it, though there are a couple of tiny bits which aren't quite perfect (so my mum will put a tiny stitch in on the day to make it right once I've got it on)

    Had my hair and make up trial and am SOOOOO pleased (especially as I don't normally wear much make up and they've made it look really subtle so I don't feel like a clown!)

    Just sitting compiling our final wedding to do list!
    Yay we're getting married, I'm so excited!

    Hi Sammy,
    Yes- really busy at work too. I've had that stinky cold/cough thing going round so have been off work for a few days recovering.

    Oh, I hope you're feeling better Aimee. There's nothing worse than a summer cold! Bet you're looking forward to the end of term tho??

    That sounds good. I really need to book another hair trial as I just don't know what to do with my hair. How is everyone having their hair? I can't decide whether to have up or down or half up and down. Aaargh!!!


    I seriously need to sit down over the weekend and go through my to do list. I'm starting to get a little panicky now lol. My gift list opens tomorrow - very exciting!!

    Not got my hair trial til 2 weeks today, but thinking half up half down want to make the most of my long hair & there is so much of it, it would be a nightmare to put it all up, thinking of some nice soft curls too.
    Have ordered my undies this week so fingers X'd they fit (work their magic, got pull u in granny pants!!!). Really need to speak to the hotel & sort some things out, will ring them later. 7 WEEKS TODAY!!!!!! woohoo
    Booo!!!

    In my hair trial she did two different styles, quite different - I didn't know exactly what I wanted either as I cut my hair pretty short about 6 months ago but now have been trying to grow it. I did show her some pictures I'd found which I think helped her (although they were nothing like the final result which was fab!). Good luck with yours Violetta and Sammy_Girl :)
